Fourth of July
What is everyone drinking for July 4th. We were planning a cellar
emptier of older zindfandels and Syrahs but the fires have prevented the big barbecue planned. Much smaller party anticipated. Will bring in barbecue instead of making it ourselves. |

As I've aged (and my wines haven't had the opportunity) I find myself going lighter in the hot months. Probable quaffs for Independence Day in super-heated Texas will be chilled Rose (got some very pleasant pinot grigio/gris pinks around) or Sauvignon Blanc (currently working through a very nice Twoomey Vineyard SB). If I need or want red, I'll opt for a chilled Beaujolais. Anticipate something cool on the plate as well. Very likely a shrimp Louis on romaine. Otherwise, SWMBO returned from a recent Whole Foods excursion with some Pacific coast salmon and baramundi. The salmon cold, the Oz perch probably sauted with a butter reduction. It's only July 1 and 100-degrees is already getting old. |

Will bring > in barbecue instead of making it ourselves. We have decided on 3 Turley vineyard designations Rattlesnake, Haye, and, Whitney all from 2001. Also will be trying some 2007 Turley Petit Syrah as all of us have 3 bottles of this. Barbecue was just too big for Roses though we are starting with Rose of Cabernet Franc first. Sparklers are to be brought for dessert but all surprise. |
